In July 1830, the soldier resided in Andover, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire; he gave his age then as fifty-six years, but did not state the date and place of his birth nor the names of his parents. His wife, Elizabeth, was aged then fifty-six years; her maiden name and the date and place of their marriage were not given.

Dear Sir: Last May you were so kind as to send me the war record of William Glines who was allowed a pension on papers executed Apr. 23-1818 -
You state he mentioned children - Elizabeth, William Sarah, James , Henry, James .
It is surely extremely strange that a man should have two sons named James .

Now my grandmother, Nancy Glines Davis was born July 31—1800. There is no mention of her tho she must have been 20 years of age in 1820—
Could this have been a mistake in the copy and the second Nancy have been Nancy?
Or was there another Wm. Glines who had a daughter Nancy! This Glines lived at Franklin Falls with his daughter Nancy. Glines Davis during the last

years of his life -
I am looking up this ancestor to enable me to join the D. A. R.
Yours truly,

Have you any records of Capt. more info asked Harrington of the Green Mountain Boys ? I do not know his birth place but he lived at Harrington Hill in New York. He was my great , great grandfather.
I also had a relative William Glines who was with Washington's army at Valley Forge. He lived during the latter part of his life near Franklin Falls N.H.
I shall be glad to obtain any information in regard to either of these two Revolutionary soldiers.

Madam:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 45557, it appears that William Glines enlisted in Canterbury, New Hampshire, February 14, 1781 and served as a private in Captain Ebenezer Frye's  Frost's Company, Colonel Henry Dearborn's New Hampshire Regiment and was discharged December 20, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 23, 1818, while a resident of Salisbury, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.
In 1820, he was fifty-six years old, was living in Andover, New Hampshire, and referred to his wife, Elizabeth, aged fifty-six years, and

children- Elizabeth, aged thirty years; William, aged twenty-eight years; Sarah, aged twenty-six years; James, aged twenty-four years; Henry, aged twenty-two years; and James, aged nineteen years.
In 1855, he was living in Franklin, Merrimack County, New Hampshire.
In order to make a proper search of the records for a soldier named Harrington, the full name of soldier is essential, with as much as possible of the following data- approximate date of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service.
Respectfully,
WILDER S. METCALF Commissioner.
